Half-size spaghetti<\/strong>
\nWhy don\u2019t they just make spaghetti noodles half as long so you don\u2019t have to messily break them to fit into the pot? Well, they do! Half-sized, or what they call \u201cpot size\u201d, noodles are available from brands such as\u00a0Mueller\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Barilla<\/a>, and from big box stores and on\u00a0Instacart<\/a>. As far as I am concerned, this size should be the standard. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Industry secrets<\/strong>
\nI crave insider knowledge. This Reddit thread feeds my desire to hear what\u2019s really going on in everyday businesses. It simply asks people\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s an industry secret in the field you work in?<\/a>\u201d There\u2019s a\u00a0 couple hundred responses, like: Goodwill throws away most of what is given to them; in vodka, the bottle costs more to make than the vodka; it\u2019s easy to get library fines waived; bouncers make up the rules; there is way more butter than you think in almost every dish at fancy restaurants; etc. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Discover the inspiration behind a movie<\/strong>
\nThis year I\u2019ve watched more movies at home than I thought possible. When I finish a movie I enjoyed I always check the \u201cmore like this<\/em>\u201d tab to find related films to watch, and now as an alternative discovery engine, I\u2019ve been searching\u00a0Cinetrii<\/a>, which pulls any mention of influences or inspiration from movie reviews to suggest films with similar moods. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Erasable Pens<\/strong>
\nPilot\u00a0Frixion pens<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0highlighters<\/a>\u00a0have hard plastic erasers. Rub them over the ink and the writing vanishes. Unlike a pencil eraser that wears away the paper, a Frixion eraser creates heat, rendering the ink invisible. I use them for my paper to-do list, book highlighting, and tabletop gaming. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Readwise<\/strong>
\nClaudia recommended\u00a0Readwise<\/a>\u00a0a while back, but since then this powerful ebook and article highlighting app has added a lot of new useful features. You can highlight excerpts from Pocket and Instapaper, and even grab clips of podcasts, which are automatically transcribed into text (using the new\u00a0airr podcast player<\/a>). Best of all, I can browse and search all my ebook, article, and podcast highlights on the Readwise website or Evernote. It\u2019s an indispensable tool. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Fingerprint-free appliances<\/strong>
\nAfter our recent kitchen remodel, every appliance in our kitchen is now stainless steel and of course, easily smudged. My husband then added the\u00a0Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner<\/a>\u00a0to our cleaning supplies and honestly, I was surprised at how flawless it left every surface. Every home should have this. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
